I really hate the big bulky Otterboxes and the stupid little plastic stickon screen covers. I want a full body case that is slim, made of a hard plastic(not rubbery), and preferably with a glass or plastic screen cover. I have contacted Ivyskin and they said they are working on new cases for the iPhone 5 but I was wondering if anyone else out there has found something similar to what i want?

I'm in the same boat my friend. Absolutely cannot stand otter box, or really any TPU cases. I want something hard like metal/glass that's minimalistic yet offers a tiny bumper for screen protection as well. Apparently that doesn't exist. I'm looking at the mophie juice pack air as of right now. I do like the Ivy skin as well, I'll be looking out for the 5 version. For now I'm just rolling naked!

Not as bulky as the Otterbox but offers awesome protection!

I'm with you but for me it is a race between Lifeproof and Taktik. I'm torn between the trade offs. Lifeproof is submersible. The only thing I did not like was how the plastic screen is easily scratched. Enter Taktik with Gorilla Glass. This case is absolutely sick! Its built like a tank! I've decided I will get which ever one releases first. Secretly I'm hoping its Taktik.

Wow! I had not seen the Taktik before! I think it is a bit too big for me, but it does look great. Wonder why Lifeproof can't do the gorilla glass instead of that plastic?

have a look at the Gear4 Thin Ice case. It's hard clear plastic with a thin lip. It really doesn't obscure the beautiful linbes of the phone and it adds a little bit of protection to it. I have one and love it, although I am in need of something a bit more rugged too.

I'm waiting for Vaja to make an iPhone 5 case. I've had a Vaja for every iPhone and I love them.

Last one I got, though, did have a problem. If you get one do not get the ones with different colored stripes. Over time the leather does dry and shrink(this happened at about 1 1/2 years) and the leather seperated at the stripes. I still kept the case for another 6 months before I decided to roll naked with my IPhone 4, so i definitely got
My money's worth. This time I'll be buying a Vaja case that is a solid color, like the one I had for the 3GS. That one lasted till I got the 4.

Hmm the thin ice case doesn't have a lip protecting the screen, only the sides of the phone. But I do like the icebox edge though!! Thanks man! I'll be looking out for this case.

Wow, the Taktik case is amazing, may have to try one!

I am not a fan of the LP case, although its good for the beach and whatnot, it's not practical for daily use. When I had one no one could hear me when talking to them and the speaker was too muffled for me.

OP, just go to best buy and try cases on, it's the only way to choose.
